one of my absolute favorites!

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Blistering performances.

My stats is based on the movie as whole. Great story and I like the solving part and great actors. But the ending.... wow! 10/10

Odd Thomas is a good movie to me that had potential to be great. The main character to see dead people as well as see death coming to an extent. The rules aren't fully developed and it seems like it varies a little bit how everything works but that's death for you. He has a girlfriend who knows his gift as well as a detective that he helps solve crimes. There are weird creatures that show up that tell him something really bad is going to happen. The rest of the movie involves him trying to figure out where/when this bad thing is going to happen. It all comes together pretty well in the end but nothing ever stood out big time to me. The dialogue could have improved it but it felt a bit clunky at times.

I haven't read the book, but I did read a different novel by Dean Koontz recently which is what got it in my head to watch this movie. I'm regretting that I didn't look any deeper than the name and the rating. This is not a nearly 7 star movie. It's a B movie with a couple of good actors in it.I'll start with the good. Anton Yelchin. Without him this movie would be utterly useless. He plays Odd with the perfect mix of humor, strength and self deprecation. Willem Dafoe brings some credibility to his role so we at least have 2 actors who can act, but doesn't do much more than that. The special effects are cool in some places.The bad: everything else. From poor acting performances to showing skin for no reason (do we really need a slow motion running scene?) to unconvincing dialog. Maybe if I was a teenager or liked B movies. But no, neither of those is the case. Skip this one.

I am kicking myself for waiting this long to view this movie. Anton did a marvelous job and the movie as a whole is very well made, with great execution and a great cast behind it! It sucks that Anton passed away last year and again I waited long to view this movie, but NETFLIX has it on there so I decided to give it a go and I was NOT disappointed ! Willem Defoe is great as usual and then there are a few people who I did not recognize, but all parts are played very well! This is a great take on a Dean Koontz novel and it is just a shame that we will not see a 2nd one with Anton in it. Maybe a new movie as a whole, but I do not see it being better than this one! I don't know though. We could be surprised. Great movie though, if you haven't seen it, give it a go! It should not disappoint you! Peace!
